Abstract

Alors qu'en Europe s'élabore une Stratégie Européenne pour l'Emploi, une nouvelle loi-cadre pour l'emploi et à la formation, le Workforce Investment Act, est votée aux Etats-Unis en 1998. Sa mise en œuvre survient dans un contexte de ralentissement de l'activité économique Outre-Atlantique et ravive les débats autour du rôle possible d'une nouvelle politique fédérale d'emploi, mieux articulée aux grands enjeux économiques. Toutefois, les partisans d'une revitalisation de la politique d'emploi doutent que le Workforce Investment Act marque une inflexion significative dans ce sens. Il confirme au contraire le retour du balancier vers le placement rapide dans l'emploi (work first) au détriment de la formation professionnelle.
